TIE German elections are over, and, rs
was expected, have resulted in victory
for Bismarck. A great deal of interest
has been felt IN these elections all the
world over, because it has been generally
supposed that they would decide the
question whether there would be war or
not in the immediate future. 1t has been
thought that victory for Bismarck woull
mean peace as he is credited with being
the originator of good deal OF the war
talk that has agitated Europe for many
weeks past. His object was, first, 10
enable him to carry his pet measure for
Strengthening the army through the
reichstag. and subsequently to influence
the German voters to return govern
ment majority. Now that he has carried
his point he will, no doubt, take down
his French scare crow, which after all
was nothing but an imitation of the
bloody shirt OF the republicans, which
did such stalwart service in many pol>
itical campaign in this country. 1t will
be Observed, and We are sure with prop
er pride, that even in their political meth
DDS the effete monarchies of the old world
are not above taking lessons from this
great and glorious republic. Whoop la

SUPPRESSED HEWlTTtS LETTER.
A Paper That Contained ''Obnoxious"
Sentiments Pigeon Holed.

Sentiments Pigeon-Holed.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-There is much COM
nent in political circles in this city and
Brooklyn over the fact that a letter from
Mayor Hewitt which was sent to the Young
Mems Democratic club, to be read at their
meeting Tuesday night. was suppressed be-
cause of certain free criticisms of the action
of Democratic leaders in coquetting with
the labor movement, and, also it was said be-
cause upon being submitted to Governor
Hill he said he would not attend the banquet
if it were read All the members of the
Young Mems Democratic club are highly in
dignant at the suppression of the letter, and
agree that President Frederick R. Lee, OF
the club is to be blamed for it, and threaten
to expel him if be refuses to make it public
MIR. Hewitt was seen and said he did not
have copy of the letter, but was quite will
ing to have it published. if the club commit
tee did not publish it he expected them to
return it The mayor said the
letter denounced the tyranny of labor unions.
''The des potism is so complete that during
the lste strikes the leaders even declared
their purpose to order a universal strike
which would have produced a general par
alysis of business in this city and elsewhere
u
party to protect the inalienable
right of the workingman to dis
pose of his labor in any way which
seems to himto be best. Upon this principle
the Democratic party secured power, and
when it fails to assert the right of public in
dependence its mission will be ended 1t is a
mistake therefore for the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party any where to coquette with the
leaders of the So called Labor movement.
The party should boldly announce Its de-
termination to break down all organizations
which seek to put shackles on the free labor
of the country, and particularly all secret
political organizations, especially if they are
based upon the interests of a particular class
Of the community / regard it
as a very critical time for the Democratic
party, and | think that every one who is in
position to influence public opinion should
take decided ground upon this question
whether be is in favor of or opposed to or
carnations seeking to control the politics Of
the country, without regard to the rights
and interests OF all other classes
A United Press reporter called upon Gov.
eInor Hill Wednesday and inquired if be
was correctly reported as refusing TO attend
Tuesday nights dinner if Mr. Hewitts letter
was to be read. He said he had made nc
such statement. He was told that some mem
bers thought the letter should not be read.
When his advise was asked be suggested that
If there was any trouble, no letters be read Z.
He paid no more attention to the matter
There were other letters that were not read.

and enable them to control the money sup
ply. Postal savings banks should bs estab-
lished. While we have free coinage Of gold,
we should have free coinage Of silver. We
demand the prompt payment of the national
debt and condemn the further issuance Of in
terest-bearing bonds, either by the national
government or by states, territories, counties
or municipalities.
Fourth-Labor: Arbitration should take
the place Of strikes and other injurious meth
DDS of settling labor disputes; the letting of
convict labor to contractors be prohibited;
the contract system be abrogated in public
works; the hours of labor in industrial e.
adjustments be reduced, commensurate
with the increase of production in labor-sav-
ing machinery employees be protected from
bodily injury; equal pay be given for
equal work for both sexes, ami labor. agri-
cultural and cooperative associations be fos-
tered and incorporated by law. The founda-
ton Of republics is the intelligence Of its
citizens, and children who are driven into
workshops, mines and factories are deprived
of education, vhich should be secured to all
by proper legislation. We desire to see Ia
Dor organ tions extend throughout all civ
ICED countries until it shall be impossible for
country in war against their brothers of an
other country.
Fiftn-Soldiers and Sailors: In apprecia-
ton of the services of United States soldiers
and sailors we demand for them justice be-
fore charity.
Sxth-Incoms tax: A graduated Income
tax is the most equitable system of taxation,
placing the burden of government on those
who can best afford to pay, instead of laying
it on the farmers and producers. and ex-
enpting millionaire landholders and corpor-
atoms
Seventh-United States senate: The cap
turs of the United States senate by million
aires and tools of corporations who have no
sympathy with free institutions threatens
| the very existence of the republic. We de-
mand constitutional amendment making
| United States senators elective by direct
vote of the people
| The eigth section demands exclusion Of the
| Chinese, and denounces the employment of
| Pinkerton men. The next section, on tenn
perance, says excessive wealth. resulting in
| luxury and idleness on the one hand and ex-
cessive toll and poverty on the other, leads to
| iDtemperance and vice. The measures of re-
| form here demanded will prove to be the
scientific solution of the temperance ques-
| ton.
There was a minority report on the liquor
plank favoring a clear-cut prohibitory reso-
| luton, but this was laid on the table Mrs.
Severance offered suffrage plank which
! was adopted 1t declares that "the right to
vote is inherent in citizenship irrespective of
sex" The platform was adopted and at
midnight the convention adjourned for the
| day.
